Hello, would I be able to get assistance on this problem? In a combustion reaction, the most common fuel that burns contains compounds called hydrocarbons. This organic compound reacts quickly with oxygen and produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The reaction typically gives off heat and light as well. The combustion of methane is represented by the equation: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2Oa) In the above reaction what compound is oxidized?b) Give another example of a hydrocarbon combustion reaction and write the equation.
